TALK OF STRIKE IN THE LACK
AWANNA IS GROUNDLESS.
Bo Declare Both the Offlclnls nnd the
Members of the Engineers' Grlev
niice Committee Grnnu Chief Ar
thur Left Cincinnati Yesterday for
Scrnnton nnd Will Probably be
Here To-dny Change In the Meth
od Heretofore In Use In Coal Way
Dill Office.
rrotn tho Liiekuwunim officials ami
thp t'nglneci'8' committee stoutly de
clare that there is no ground whatever
for the strike talk so generally In
dulged In by the Nev York papers, yes
tfi'di'.y. Tlio cessation of the conference, as
tol 1 yesterday In The Tribune, was due
t" the desire cf the committee to con
sult with Chief Arthur before giving a
limit answer on some important ques
tions that arose during the conference
and which must be settled before the
sessions can be tesumed as there are
other Items of tho schedule contingent
thereon.
Vestehlay afternoon's Associated
3'ress despatches announced that
Chief Arthur had effected a settlement
of tho "Big Four" trouble and was on
his way to Seran'ton. He was expect
ed to arrive early this morning.
Change of Methods.
With the changing of the coal way
bill offlce from lie Lackawanna ave
nue station of the Lackawanna road
to the frelglu depot there also occurs
a change in the manner of conducting
the olllce.
Hert'u.lfore the coal was shipped
from the company's mines, and sent to
the yards here. The cars were num
bered and copied by the force of the
way 1)111 ofllce. . Heglnnlng September
1 all coal will bo billed at tho mines
nnd sent to the yards,- and the trains
made up.
This order will, It Is said, decrease
the force at the way bill ofllce, and
will entail extra duties of the clerical
force at the mines.
New Building at Hoboken.
Plans have been tiled in Hoboken for
n new olllce building for the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western Hailroad
Company, to take the place of their
old one, which has stood for more
than fifty years at the western end of
the depot. The new structure will
stand close to the piers, adjoining the
train shed. It will be of frame and two
stories high with an octagonal tower
on the side facing the river. Tho main
entrance will fui- the train shed.
The structure will be triangular in
shape, with sides measuring 87 feet
S Inches, 139 feet and 107 feet 2 inche-"
respectively. On the ground lloor will
be an emigrants' room and storeroom,
nnd offices of the Pullman Palace Car
Company and Union Newr Company.
The second tloor will bo exclusively of
llces. Superintendent Haymond Du
puy of the Morris & Essex division
will have his office In the tower. The
ground lloor of tho tower will be used
cs a ladies' waiting room. The build
ing will cost $13,000.
Switching by Gravity.
(iravlty Is doing the work of men
and steam engines for the Chicago,
Lake Shore and Kastern railroad com
pany In Its yards on the margin of the
lake at the Indiana state line. This
saving of men and steam to the extent
of hundreds of dollars dally Is male
by the employment of nothing more
complicated than n hump In the rail
road grade and a gradual incline lead
ing away from It. This device Is called
"gravity switch." It Is regarded as
nn epoch-maker in switching cars. The
reason why railroad men nre taking
a lively Interest In this particular
switch at present Is that It is being
tested and, ns days go by, some Im
provements nre being made' In It.
The switch not only enables the com
pany to make one engine do the work
of four, but It also saves the time that
Is employed In other yards In shoving
cars on a scale and hauling them off
whenever they have to be weigher.
This simple-looking hump on the
tracks causes tho cars to go on the
scales, be weigher, then roll off to the
switch where they are desired by the
railroad men. The switching and
weighing are performed while the cars
are running from the top of the hump

lie by the Geological Survey. The non
metallic products incheased from $327,
710.6 In 1S97 to $332,783,872, a gain of
$2.-i.O72,90fi. The largest contributor to
this gain was bituminous coal, which
Increased from $M,,r67,224 in 1897 to
J132.GSS.313 In 1898. a gain of $13,019,089.
The value of the anthracite, however,

COLLECTION OF CHECKS.
Bankers Will Consider It at Their
Coming Meeting in Cleveland, O.
The bunking interests of the country
are very much concerned In the com
ing convention to be held at Cleveland.
O., on Sept. 5, to devise a system for
the collection of checks which will bo
national in character.
The New York Clearing house, which
adopted the first rule for chargo on
the collection of outside cheeks, Is par
ticularly anxious that tho other cities
of the Union shall udopt similar rules.
In fact, tho cost of collections for out-of-town
items has led to tho transfer
of deposits by somo national banks
from tho New York Institutions to tho
banks of neighboring cities.
A call has been sent to the Clearing
House association of every Important
centre asking that delegates be t-ent
to this convention. Tho Scranton
Clearing Houfo association will be
represented by C. W. Gunster, W. II.
Peck nnd F. L. Phillips. They will
take a prominent part In tho discus
sion with reference to a check collect
ing system Inasmuch as from tills city
came one of the most vigorous protests
ngalnst the system now In vogue at
the New York Clearing house.
THOSE DECISIONS
FROMHARRISBURG
IConcluded from Page 3.1
It- may welt be that It was not Intended
that any of these should either be sub
ject to lmpenchniciit.or- removal on nd
dress of two-thirds of' tho senate. Hut
that consideration will not prove that
an Important municipal ofllcer, exer
cising grave public functions, shall not
be subject to removal at the pleasure
of the power which appointed him."
We do not ugree that the highway
commissioner is u petty officer, fly
Section 3 of the ordinance above re
ferred to, bis salary Is fixed nt $1,G00
per annum, and a separate ofllce with
necessary office expenses; he Is re
iiulred to keep a record of his official
acts; to see that all' streets, sidewalks,
lanes nnd nlle.vs. and other nubile
places, are kept In good order; to see
that nil ordinances and regulations of
the city In respect to these and to sew
ers and water-courses are compiled
with and enforced; to make quarterly
reports to councils of his olllclnl doings:
to furnish a bond, with nt least two
sufficient sureties, In the sum of $.",000;
und to have paramount control of all
work done and laborers employed- on
nil the highways and public places of
tho city; and many other powers nnd
duties nre conferred and enjoined upon
him.
After full consideration, we are con
vinced that no valid distinction can be
drawn between this case and the
Houseman case, nnd being bound by
that nuthorlty. we adjudge that the
respondent be ousted and removed from
the ofTlce of commissioner of highways
of the city of Harrlsburg; and counsel
may draft and submit a formal Judg
ment. Tho Weiss decision In another Har
rlsburR case Is also relied upon to
sustain the mayor's position. This Is
a case where the select council of Har
rlsburg refused to confirm three police
appointments of the mayor because
the officers they were to succeed were
honorably discharged veterans of the
civil war, nnd under the act of 1897,
not removnble from ofllce without reas
onable and Just cause being shown.
The mayor brought mandamus pro
ceedings to compel the council to take
action on the nominations, alleging
that the act was in conflict with Art.
VI, Sec. 3, of the Constitution, which
declares that "appointed officers, other
than Judges of the courts of record
and tho superintendent of public In
struction may be removed nt the
pleasure of the power by which they
shall have been appointed."
Judge Weiss decided that this con
tention of the mayor was correct and
granted a mandamus to compel the
select council to act.
Lx-City Solicitor James II. Torrey,
who has been retained by Patrolmen
Saul and Dyer to ascertain whether
or not they can be summarily dis
missed, as attempted by the mayor,
says he does not see In either decision
any warrant for the stand which His
Honor takes.
The Slmonton decision will not apply
In the Saul and Dyer case, Mr. Torrey
believes, because there Is a distinction
made by the law between appointive
ofllces such as street commissioner and
that of police ofllcer. The Act of 1899
expressly gives the mayor power to re
move officers apolnted by him whose
ofllces are cieated by ordinance, but
the law In reference to patrolmen,
specifically states that "the mayor
shall nominate and bv nnd with the
consent of select council appoint, sus
pend or dismiss and In like
manner all vacancies shall be filled."
That the appointive power may re
move, is not to be disputed, Mr. Torrey
says. Tho question to be determined
Is who is the appointive power. The
answer Is found In the above quotation.
"The mayor shall nominate and with
select council appoint."
Jn a word the Slmonton decision does
not npply and the point raised by Mr.
Torrey was not disposed of In the
Weiss decision.
Patrolmen Saul and Dyer are Intent
on having the motion taken to the
supreme court if necessary to establish
the validity of their position. They
report each day to Chief Holding for
duty and propose to sue for salary for
the period that will intervene between
their dismissal and the appointment of
their successors.
In another column Is printed nn op
inion from City Solicitor Vosburg In
the district chief's case in which he
contends that even under the law
quoted above tho mayor is the appoin
tive power, the select council being
vested merely with authority to as
sent or dissent, and not with any share
of tho power of apolntlng.

tary canal. They act gently yet
